Was Hitler a gentleman?

Answer 1

He was the kind of gentleman that contracts venereal deceases from Jewish prostitutes.

Answer 2

Interesting question. I don't know a lot about his private life, but I get the impression that he probably was a gentleman. He wasn't an upperclass toff (as someone else said, he was a peasant painter), but that's not what being a gentleman is about. I think he probably was the sort of person to open doors for people and stuff.

I'm also very encouraged by the number of thoughtful answers along the lines of my own. The proportion of answers saying 'he was a mass murderer and evil' is relatively low.

Answer 3

You must be kidding. He may have been a genius but he was no gentleman. He was a peasant painter and was not German. In the world of Hitler he was absolute. His word was all that was needed to end many lives.

Answer 4

Absolutely not, apart from the obvious delusions of grandeur and that he was a psychotic sociopath he was born to an impoverished Austrian family and had no contact with the upper classes of his own country or Germany's and being low born would never be classed as a gentleman.One of his ideals was to create an equal society that served the state.
He was addicted to amphetamines though.

Answer 5

He was an inadequate man if you study his life this becomes very clear. He had a string of lovers who attempted suicide and he had some strange sexual practises and prejudices.

He was a sex symbol in Germany during the war!

He dressed like a gentleman certainly but that's as far as it went in my opinion.

Answer 6

Only when it suited him, He was also able to charm people and was a passionate speaker (hence the Germans letting him get the Power)

He loved Dogs, Hated Cats (so did Napoleon, Mussilini and Ghenghis Khan)
Apparently Churchill and Roosevelt Loved Cats!

Unfortunately He was also ARROGANT BIGOTED EGOTISTICAL & A MEGALOMANIAC and usually tops the worlds MOST HATED LIST

Answer 7

He was a good emperor and good ruler and can also win all the world but his one weakness was he was confused and dependant on his closed seven advisers in the war who has no proper knowledge of war in some specific countries and only this reason he defeated badly

Answer 8

Has history told you nothing? How in the name of God can you possibly use the word Hitler and the word gentle in the same sentence.
You must be sick.

Answer 9

Hitler was totaly despised by the artistocratc Germans, who recgarded him as uneducated and ill-mannered.

Answer 10

he probably was. He appeared to be socially aware of his responsibilities, and had a certain decorum and flair in any archive footage I have saw. The fact he was a F**KING nazi maniac, responsible for quite a lot of nastiness, is neither here or there, socially he was a nice man.
